Description
This cuvée is crafted with a blend of Pinot Noir grapes from two of the finest terroirs in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits: "Les Dames Huguettes" overlooking Nuits-Saint-Georges and the slopes of Villars Fontaine which are at the same latitude as Vosne-Romanée. The majority of these terroirs benefit from east-southeastern exposure at altitudes of 150 m above the Côte where the nights are cool throughout the ripening phase of the grapes, lending the wines all of their characteristic purity and freshness.
Decanter: 91 points
Vinification
The grapes from each plot were vinified and aged separately. The grapes were completely destemmed. Rapid vinification under controlled temperatures of no higher than 29°C allowed us to preserve the freshness that is characteristic of the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits wines.
Aging
Ageing lasted 10 months with 35% carried out in new oak barrels. At the end of ageing, the cuvées were selected and carefully blended to obtain the best balance representative of the entire area of the Hautes Côtes de Nuits.
